Kentucky players to know

QB Sawyer Smith: Smith took over for star quarter back Terry Wilson after Wilson suffered a season ending knee injury. In three games that Smith has started, he’s thrown for 655 yards, four touchdowns, five interceptions, and a 96.6 QBR.

WR Lynn Bowden: Bowden is the do it all man for Kentucky. He boasts 39 yards passing, 99 yards rushing, and leads the Wildcats with 348 receiving yards. Bowden will also run the Wildcat formation for Kentucky.

RB Asim Rose and Kavosiey Smoke: Kentucky is lead by a two-headed running back committee. Rose and Smoke have combined for 613 yards on the ground and five touchdowns. Rose, a junior, averages five yards per carry while his freshman counterpart rushes for 6.2 yards per carry.

WR Ahmad Wagner: Wagner, a former basketball player at Iowa, has SEC size at 6’5, 234 pounds. He’s second on the team behind Bowden with 248 receiving yards but leads the team in touchdown receptions with two. He also averages 20.7 yards per catch.

LB Deandre Square: Leads the Wildcats in tackles with 35 total on the season. Tied for second with 21 solo tackles and has posted 1.5 sacks.

LB Kash Daniel: A leader on defense for Kentucky. He’s notched 28 total tackles this season including one sack and three deflected passes.

NT Quinton Bohanna: At 6’4, 361 pounds, Bohanna is a huge hole filler for the Wildcats. Arkansas’ offensive line didn’t do well playing against the big nose tackle from San Jose State in week four who was an inch shorter and 30 pounds lighter than Bohanna. We’ll see if the O-line has improved any against the 361 pound junior.
